EDspaces 2020 Call for Classroom Designs

  • 03/09/20

SILVER SPRING, MD – The Education Market Association (EDmarket) calls upon leaders in the design community to submit proposals for classroom designs for education sessions taking place at EDspaces, November 11-13, 2020 in Charlotte, NC. Submissions can be specialized spaces with a unique theme or focus, provided they seat 100 adult learners comfortably.

“With the focus on product and spaces innovation taking place at EDspaces, it’s only natural that we model cutting-edge classroom design for our highly rated education program,” says Jim McGarry, EDmarket president/CEO of EDmarket.

The EDspaces Classroom design competition is highly competitive. Design teams empowered to deliver innovative educational environments are invited to submit a proposal for one of six designed classrooms at EDspaces. The deadline is April 30, 2020.

“It’s incredibly worthwhile and a rare opportunity in a conference setting for mock-ups within a prototype classroom to be tested and run through the range of presentation styles,” says Kristen Ambrose, AIA, LEED AP BD + C, RATIO, principal/director of Research and Development, a member of one of the winning teams in 2019. “We were overwhelmed with the positive feedback and it has been a fantastic marketing and business development venture.”
